Fisher Lake Fishing in Granite County, Montana

• Overview

  Fisher Lake is one of the Granite County waters in Montana. The country round it is lake country bush from end to end. The water covers some 30 acres, so pick a bank rather than trying to cover it all. With about 0.9 miles of edge, you can try several depths in one session. It ranks high for size among our Granite County listings. You are 15 miles from Anaconda. Warm Springs lies 18 miles off, Deer Lodge another 19 miles. This one sits near enough to a boundary to be worth checking.

• Where to Fish on Fisher Lake

  We hold no depth figure for this one. The arms fish better than the open middle whenever the water is up. Inflow corners move water, and moving water gathers fish. County-wide records name rainbow trout, brook trout and brown trout. Species recorded across the county may be limited to a few waters. Fisher Lake repays a walk before the first cast.

• Seasonal Patterns

  Typical August readings run about 53°F; by December the average is down near 18°F. Cold winters and warm summers give a wide working range. Count on hard cover from midwinter, and open water from mid May. The open-water window runs from around mid May to about early November in an average year. Spring is short and heavy here; autumn is longer and steadier. Fisher Lake runs to that rhythm year in and year out.

• Tackle & Baits

  Our records carry no access rule either way. Mapping records no facilities at all near this water. For the trout, small spinners and a box of nymphs cover both approaches. Bank access can be seasonal on ground like this. Barbless rules turn up on managed water more often than not. Little Racetrack Lake sits 1.1 miles off and takes the overflow.
